Baby Size-Onlv 10 Cents.

That elegant and healthful brand of milk,
the Highland, is now offered the public in a
new style of package, viz: "Baby" size and
is sold everywhere at ten cents a can. The
Highland is pure milk, and as it contains
no sugar, some difficulty may be experienced
in keeping it after the can is opened. To
remedy this the manufacturers have, through
their State agents, Messrs. S. Guckenheimer
& Co., placed the Baby size on the market.
The Highland is the best milk for family
use; it is reliable and absolutely pure, having
a fine natural flavor, and for Infants food IS
perfection itself. This milk has been thor
oughly tested in Savannah, and its genuine
merit places it at the.head of all other milk.

Nashville's Big Victory.

NASHVILLE, TENN, May 14-The game
between Nashville and New Orleans to-day
was too one-sided to be interesting. Up to
the sixth inning the visitors had not got a
man past first base, and but for Masran's
wild throw to first in this inning they would
have been shut out Their runs were all
made after this spelling of what would have
been pretty double play and which would
have retired the side. Burke's playing at
short was the feature of the game The
visitors made numerous hits, but they were
too scattering to avail anything. The score
by innings was:

ESCAPED CONVICT CAPTURED.
Detective Wetherhorn Neatly Traps g
Florida Jail Bird.

Florida Jail Bird.
Alexander Henderson, an escaped convict
from the Florida penitentiary at Live Oak
was captured yesterday by Detective
Wetherhorn and lodged in Jail to await the
arrival of the Florida prison authorities.
Henderson is light colored, stout built
young mulatto. He was tried in Jackson
vile year ago for larceny and was sem
fenced to three years imprisonment in the
penitentiary. In less than two
weeks he escaped, and up to yes
terday eluded the officers who have
been on his track. Detective Wetherhorn
has been watching him for some time, and
yesterday he telegraphed the Live Oak au-
thorities that Henderson was here. He re-
ceived reply TO arrest him, and that re-
ward of $50 had been offered.
Immediately upon receipt of the telegram
the officer was on the track of the fugitive,
and in less than half an hour had him under
arrest. Henderson did not attempt to CON
ceal his identity lie said that he ran away
because he got into trouble with one of the
prison guards and was afraid of being
whipped On his way to jail he told the
officers that he is sure that he will get 200
lashes when he gets back.
Detective Wetherhorn at once tele-
graphed the penitentiary authorities that
Henderson is awaiting their arrival. A
guard is expected this morning, and the
fugitive will probably be taken back to Flori-
da to-day. Henderson has been in Savan-
nah most of the time since he escaped. He
was for awhile employed on the govern
ment works in the river and harbor, but for
some time has been working under the

KILLED By THE DROUGHT
EFFECT OF THE DRY SPELL ON THE
VEGETABLE CROPS.

The Damage by Frost and Drought
Together Over Half the Expected
Yield = The Quality Of Vegetables
Poor, But Prices Good.
The drought that has prevailed for the
last seven or eight months still continues
Friday night the rainfall was .46 of an inch,
and it did an immense amount Of good on
the truck farms. The loss by the froSts and
drought is from one-quarter to one-hah a
crop.
The March frost killed of nearly every
thing in the vegetable line except potatoes
and corn. Then when replanted the seeds
refused to terminate in the dry soil, and in
some cases melons were planted three and
four times Even when they did come up
the dry air and parched ground gave them
little sustenance, and they were stunted.
The vegetable crop was not only seriously
hurt, but it was put back from two to three
weeks. Florida vegetables have been de
pended upon to a great extent until now.
those raised here. There is, however,
a good crop of beets, turnips,
carrots, radishes, squash, cabbage,
new Irish potatoes, snap beans,
peas, cucumbers, yellow turnips, kohl rabbi,
Strawberries, blackberries and plums now
coming in.
Old gardeners say that the loss by the
drought is fully one-half of last years yield,
and the quality Of vegetables is
poorer. Potatoes are suffering
greatly, and the yield win prob
ably not be over one-haf what it should be-
Strawberries suffered greatly at first, the
frost and drought causing the bloona to drop
and the yield will be about one-half the
usual crop
The market men are well pleased with
the prices, which are better than they were
last year. but as the yield is so much less
and the work is heavier they will realize no
more than in ordinary seasons. In the mar
ket yesterday ordinary vegetables brought
about these prices; Beets 10c. bunch, s
punches for 25c.; turnips &c, bunch. s
punches for 25c. carrots &c. bunch 8 bunch
es for 10c- radishes &c. bunch punches for
10c.; squash, fair size, for 25c cabbage S,
10 and l5c.; potatoes 35c. per half peck;
snap beans 15c. quart, 2 quarts for 25c; Gu
cumbers sc. each, for 10c. yellow turnip
8 for 10c; Strawberries 10c per box
Fridays rain was pretty general for dis
tance of several miles, and probably in
another week will help out the vegetable
market and brighten up the faces of the
gardeners The following table shows the
average rainfall for the past eight months
aud also for the corresponding months Of
1907 az.

Tough, But ALWAYS Managed

One of the most difficult things in trade
to successfully accomplish is that of fully
supplying four or five different and distinct
classes of customers. There is no better
illustration of this than is shown by Lowell
g. baltimore, on Congress street, whose
business is to cater to the wants of the
farmer, housekeeper, builder, sporting man
and storekeeper, and which necessitates
them in doing successfully to have as large
an assortment and quantity of everything
as would be kept by special dealers &c
and see their immense stock.

twenty-six clean hits with a total of thirty

EARLY SUMMERS TRAVEL.
People Beginning to Think About
Where They Will Go.


A good many people are already begin
ming to think about where they will go to
spend the summer. The railroad and steam
ship agents predict that the rush of summer
travel will begin at least two weeks earlier
this year than it did a year ago. A few
who own summer places have already gone
There is considerable inquiry at the
railway ticket offices in regard to
the opening of the mountain
resorts and about summer gates of travel
Although the rates have been made up by
the Southern Passenger Committee they
have not been announced and probably will
not be until the last of the month. The re-
duction will go into effect as usual on June
/, and it is understood that the rates will be
about the same as they were last year.
There is an impression among some
people that they will be higher
on account of the interstate commerce
law. The interstate law, however, will not
effect the rates agreed upou by the passen-
ger committee.
The mountain resorts in Georgia, the
sCarolinas and Tennessee will open earlier
this year than usual in order to accommo-
ndate the early travel The railway and
Steamship Offices are being flooded with
summer resort circulars from all over the
country. There is no lack of places to go to;
s the only olIIlculty Is III deciding where
81 go. Within the past five years the nearby
fesorts-those in upper Georgia, in Tennes-
%kee and in Western North Carolinar-have
pbtained vide popularity, and instead of
Eoing North and West, TO Saratoga. the
White Mountains and to the lakes, Southern
people find equally as attractive places in
their OVID country, reached in a few
hours instead of two or three days of hot
and dusty travel. The putting on of a
through fast train from Savannah to Ashe
vile by the Central railroad will doubtless
do much TO ropularize the Western North
Carolina country.
